I think the Yanks needed a testing ground for their nastiest of weapons on people and found (manufactured?) an excuse to do it. > Chernobyl was *massive* in terms of nuclear fallout.

Yeah, it didn't turn out as bad as expected but ofcourse it was nothing like a nuclear warhead going off either so it doesn't really prove much. The long term effects may be quite insidious in that they may not show for quite some time yet, and there is evidence that there were spikes in certain medical conditions in bordering countries. People may be moving back, but are they safe in the long term? > The facts are that as horrible an accident as the Chernobyl explosion was, > and it's hard to imagine one that could be worse, it showed that the > problems associated with an accidental nuclear release weren't as bad as > what some people like to think. > In that instance, but nuclear meltdowns are not that predictable to say the next one won't be any worse.
